Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit a former merchant house in Hiketa and a shrine in Matsubara. These stops are in different parts of Higashikagawa, so plan onward and return transport.

This guide covers places within Higashikagawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Before you set off
